Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaI wish there was more of a kitchen in our room. It would have nice if both sides of the king bed we easier to get past. One of the sides closest to the wall were hard to get out of standing up without leaning on the wall.
There's an indoor heated pool and hot tub open until 10pm! The view from the room was pretty good for in the side of the building. The gym had a nice variety of machines.

United States of AmericaThe hotel itself was just mediocre. The decorations in the room looked half done like the tile on the floor in the bathroom didn’t extend all the way under the toilet, the wallpaper in the bedroom was peeling, the fixtures in the bathroom were rusty…. There were rarely clean towels available at the pool with the “towel return” bins overflowing from used towels. We also did not find the room particularly clean. There was black hair all over the shower door and floor. No housekeeping service came during our stay even though we were gone from the room from 9am-4pm. Just littles things about the hotel didn’t meet the expectation we had for the stay.
The location was perfect, right across from the beach and walkable to down town. There was views of the ocean from all over the hotel and plenty of outdoor seating and space to enjoy. The indoor pool gave us something to do when the weather was rainy.

United States of AmericaEverything was amazing except my room did not have air conditioner and was 79 to 82 degrees. I was provided with a fan. When intent to the front desk, the next morning, they switched me to a different room immediately. It was an inconvenience for sure, but handled quickly and very professionally. I would absolutely stay there again.

United States of AmericaEvery time we've been at the Grand there has been a party, wedding or some kind of event that creates extra noise, whether on the elevator or there is a band or DJ where the music can be heard throughout the hotel.
We've stayed here at least 3 times. The rooms are nice and the location can't be beat.

United States of AmericaWe reserved a handicapped accessible room. My husband has difficulty walking and, from the car to our room, had only the option of walking a bit too far and go up steps, which were more painful than a flat path, or walking up a long ramp, which made a very long distance between the car and the room. In addition, the toilet was supposed to "comfort" height, according to ADA standards, but the one in our handicapped accessible room was standard height (too low) and thus was very uncomfortable for someone with back pain and replaced knees that don't fully bend.
Property was clearly updated recently and was aesthetically pleasing. Bed was comfortable. Room was roomy.

United States of AmericaBeds are firm, and water pressure in the shower is light. If you like to get the shampoo out of your hair, the water pressure in the shower is a drip, and doesn’t get your hair clean.
Close to the beach to walk to, indoor and outdoor pool, decent restaurant in the hotel, clean rooms, outside deck view of the beach from room.

United States of AmericaI’ve stayed at The Grand before. The location is accessible to the parts of Cape May I want to visit. Hemingway’s is a wonderful restaurant. Service is exceptional and the food is delicious. Our room was spacious with a king bed and the pull out sofa bed. We had a balcony with a side view of the ocean.

United States of AmericaThe only very small complaint we had is that the room was cold all through the night no matter how much we increased the temperature on the thermostat. Luckily we always bring an extra blanket when we travel. This would not deter us from staying here again.
This was our first time staying at this hotel. We were very pleased with the room. It was very clean and comfortable with a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot. It was unfortunate that the weather was very cold and ir rained during our stay so we couldn't walk around Cape May but we will definitely stay here again.
